The education I received at Hastings College prepared me for my next step in life: graduate school. The Economics program provided me with an excellent core education, which I built upon in graduate school. In addition, my advisor ensured that I took all of the prerequisite courses that graduate schools required. Outside of my economics classes at Hastings College, many of my other courses prepared me to be a skilled speaker and writer, which are necessities for teaching and research at the academic level."
